1. You don't. Except in the bathroom or other such facility.

On edit: Of course that doesn't mean anyone can look through you handbag or search you for no good reason either.

6. EXACTLY my sentiment...

I'm so tired of people losing it because some cities want to use cameras to curb criminal activity. In England they use them all over the place. What's the big deal? If you're not breaking the law, you've nothing to worry about. And the cameras aren't in bathrooms or dressing rooms. They're just everyplace else. People don't freak out about cameras in stores and malls. Why not the streets?

7. I have much less problem with cameras than I do cops.

Cameras won't make up a bullshit story just to harass you.

8. Gosh, you're smart...

And saying exactly what I'm thinking.

9. One thing you said drives me absolutely nuts,

"If you're not breaking the law, you've nothing to worry about."

I hate the feeling that I am always being photographed and watched, and am assumed to be guilty.

10. In the mall, do you feel like you're always been photographed?

And watched? I mean, think about it. When you're walking around shopping, do you ever even THINK about the cameras? When you're shopping for groceries, aren't you thinking more about how much you're paying for a head of lettuce than you are the cameras? If you're not, then I suggest seeing a doctor. They have medication for that.

12. Actually I don't go to the mall.

I let my wife get my clothes and such. But regardless, what I meant to say is that the statement "if you haven't done anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about" is what I hate. It implies that I have done or will do something wrong.

Whatever is in my pockets is private (including my privates)

11. Evidently, we don't have reason to expect privacy in
